Unsafe Spaces
When being Jewish means you don’t belong

December 14-17, 2022

This December we’re bringing a panel of speakers to the Bay Area community to unpack the issues raised in the new Unsafe Spaces 17-minute documentary film.

The film and speakers are available at no cost to your organization or school.

In the past, Jewish students were openly attacked for defending Israel but now they are being marginalized from progressive spaces just for being Jewish.

As our lives have moved into digital spaces, so has this marginalization.

In this film you will hear first-hand accounts of what students — and social media influencers like Blake Flayton, Peter Fox and Julia Jassey — are experiencing today.

Very powerful. Very upsetting. Informative. It helped me find the right phrases, the right taglines, to use against some of these insane arguments.
